Even when I have the monitor on, and can clearly hear that it's not coming from there, I think I hear her. </p> <p>I make DH go in and check her if I don't want to feed her, because as soon as I go in she wants to eat. The other night she had managed to scoot up to the end of her crib, on her tummy, and was sort of pushed up with her face against the slats and couldn't back herself up. She was pretty ragey after that one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-what-a-jerk#post-1339333 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 10:51:08 +0000 lawbee11 1339333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, I guess we're sleep twins, too. This happened to me last night. I got into bed at 10:30 and of course right around 11 M started fussing. She normally will go back to sleep but after 10 minutes it turned into wailing. I went to get her and checked her diaper to make sure she didn't poop, and that sent her into a full-on rage. So I finally nursed her and she fell asleep. But after all that screaming it was hard for me to fall asleep. Then she was up at 2:30 and 5:30 for feedings, too. I am tired! </p> <p>I also hear phantom cries all the time while I am lying in bed, so that doesn't help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-what-a-jerk#post-1339284 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 10:14:03 +0000 illumina 1339284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. I hate insomnia! I wake S for a feed at 3am and sometimes it takes me up to an hour to fall asleep again :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-what-a-jerk#post-1339282 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 10:13:21 +0000 MrsH 1339282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I have third trimester insomnia. You'd think I should be able to sleep while the baby is still inside!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-what-a-jerk#post-1339266 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 10:03:50 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1339266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I battle this as well...I'd say one or twice a week, I can't fall back asleep if LO wakes up at night. It doesn't matter if its at 1 or 5am, my mind is just awake!</p> <p>Sometimes, even though I'm exhausted, it can take me an hour to fall asleep at night. My husband tried to say "you must not be that tired"....he got a swift kick under the sheets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-what-a-jerk#post-1339265 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 10:03:25 +0000 rachiecakes 1339265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: awful! I've tried herbal remedies and I still have trouble.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-what-a-jerk#post-1339261 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 10:00:05 +0000 catlady 1339261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go through this too. It does seem so unfair! Especially when baby starts sleeping a little longer too. At least in my case, I find that after a pretty bad night, I have an easier time sleeping the next night. So I try to get to bed earlier the next night if possible to maximize my sleep when it finally comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-what-a-jerk#post-1339197 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 09:12:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 1339197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did get a few hours after the 1 am wakeup, fed her again at six, and Dh took her for an hour and a half when she woke up at 7, so I slept then too. Phew. When she eventually got hungry again we had a great snuggly nursing session in bed so in feeling much better. </p> <p>It's te worst when the weather is crappy and we are inside all day. I need to make more of an effort to get out and do something even when it's totally gross out I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-what-a-jerk#post-1339185 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 09:04:54 +0000 Grace 1339185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I hate that! I do find that the breastfeeding hormones (or the getting out of bed) tend to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-what-a-jerk#post-1339178 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 08:59:06 +0000 Ra 1339178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I battle this at least once a week. It is the worst. I'm sorry you had a rough night. Hoping you're feeling better this morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-what-a-jerk#post-1339160 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 08:51:37 +0000 sarah.clarisse 1339160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup.... I feel the same way. This week has been particularly bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-what-a-jerk#post-1339141 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 08:41:31 +0000 Crystal 1339141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I battle this constantly.</p> <p>I am hoping it helps with future LOs feeding schedules since DH is a very heavy sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-what-a-jerk#post-1339002 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 01:34:35 +0000 Kimberlybee 1339002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Sorry and hugs....I have really bad insomnia still at 8 months pp. Some nights are better than others but I find it amazing how I can function on 3 hours sleep. I can tell it's not helping my weight loss goals though so I hope to get more sleep very soon since the excitement of the holidays are over. I thought that was what kept me up so much but now I am not so sure. I still am battling insomnia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/insomnia-what-a-jerk#post-1338992 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 01:06:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 1338992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Insomnia is just extra unfair when you are already up with a baby once or twice a night. Been in bed almost three hours, couldn't sleep, now the baby is up. Hopefully those breastfeeding hormones help me sleep after this! </p> <p>Anyone else? </p>
